Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.

  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about sink repair in Upper Kilchattan

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Upper Kilchattan?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Kilchattan from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Upper Kilchattan and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
